Eurorica the Dwarf continent or sub-continent
To consider Greenland as a continent - the name Eurorica fits best. Amerurope doesn't roll off the tongue so well. Subsequently Iceland would be a part of Eurorica since it's closer to this continent more than to Europe and North America. Also many of the northern islands of Nunavut can be included in this definition.

Lost Castles and Dragons in Adventure 1979 for Atari?
We need a retro-reboot of Adventure!
But more castles, dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, monsters!!!!
With 70s music, interactive play and mind tripping mazes.
Adventure for Atari 2600 in 1979 was a head of the game universe.
It is a classic. And fun to play, but there was never an excellent sequel.
The time has come, Adventure is long long over due. Adventure II with the original Atari Mod is coming in 2013!
The Teal Castle
The Red Castle
The Purple Castle
The Green Castle
The Grey Castle
The Brown Castle
The Blue Castle

Greenland is a Euro-American Island
Greenland's south-western shoreline is closer to the continent of North America but its eastern shore is closer to Europe. Thus this island is 'Euro-America,' with a heavy tilt towards America, and like Europe it has land due north of Africa. Basically Greenland has one foot in the 'Old World' and another in the 'New World.'

The Dividing Line of North and South America in the Caribbean
For some strange reason most geographers classify all or most of the islands in the Caribbean as North America. However many islands and nations are right next to South America! Trinidad is much closer to South America yet North America bogarts all the islands. After doing some geographical research - from a linear point of view the south eastern half of the Caribbean Islands should be classified as South America.
Here is the dividing line:
The Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands are closest to North America - thus a part of North America.
Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican) and all islands south and east of it are closest to South America. Thus Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands (US&UK), Antigua & Barbuda, All of Dutch American Indies, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and finally Trinidad and Tobago are all geographically speaking a part of South America.
But Turks and Caicos are geographically in between. One would think that they should be a natural extension of the Bahamas but the great coincidence is that Turks is closer to South America as is a tiny portion of of Caicos.
